Asin & Genelia taking over B-town!!

The 2 southern belles Asin & Genelia, who were just another regional stars, today have become a Big Brands! Nobody in their wildest of dreams must have imagined that Asin & Genelia would attain overnight stardom in Bollywood by giving a single hit GHAJINI and JAANE TU YA JAANE NA respectively.

In the past also we had numerous southern stars hitting the Bollywood floors but the amount of popularity Asin & Genelia have garnered is tremendous. The girls are going places. Not only the 2 are encumbered with good films and commercials of reputed brands of tinsel town but they have become part of most Bollywood do's. The 2 can be seen almost everywhere. Recently the 2 dazzling beauties were seen adding spark to the most prestigious beauty pageant of Asia - Femina Miss India 2009 Grand finale event. While the bubbly Genelia set the stage ablaze grooving to Shiamak Davar's choreography than gorgeous Asin was seen in the hot seat (as one of the judges) judging the majestic event. Interestingly both the girls gained the astounding success working with Aamir Khan. While JAANE TU was made under Aamir Khan Productions than GHAJINI starred Aamir. Seems like the southern beauties have this knack of taking over Bollywood and time-n-again it is proved well!

She's basking in well-deserved success after Ghajini. In between shooting a song for London Dreams and doing commercials, Asin, looking fresh as a daisy in casual tee and trousers, opens up in an exclusive chat

How is life post-Ghajini? You are flooded with endorsements now.

Life is pretty much the same. As for endorsements, I have been doing ads since the age of 14. So far, I have done around 50 ads including Parachute, BPL Mobile, Mirinda and Colgate. Most of the commercials you are seeing now have been signed much before Ghajini happened.

But didn't you sign Tata Sky after Ghajini and after Aamir Khan became its brand ambassador
Not at all. My ads are already on in the South and they are planning to shoot another with Aamir soon.

Now that you have tasted success with both the Ghajini's, which is more special

Both. I was excited when the Tamil film came about. I had done a few films till then but Ghajini was a huge success. It was the highest-watched regional film in that year (2005). A huge box-office success, it even caught Bollywood's attention. As for the Hindi version, when I was shooting for it, it was like watching a re-run of your film but I was equally enthused working in it. I have been told the film is the highest grosser ever in Hindi. Screen gave me the Most Promising Newcomer award and I got my first national recognition.

Do you get mobbed in Mumbai

I think people in Mumbai are really cool. When they see me, they wave out or greet me with a Hi or a Hello. It feels nice. But when I was shooting for London Dreams in Chandigarh , I got a taste of North India .

I had never been there before and though I stayed there only for a day I enjoyed it.

The crowd was encouraging and kept calling out my name. I loved the food there, specially the aloo parathas

Are you not afraid of putting on weight

Not at all. I believe in eating healthy food. My mother is a doctor and she has always encouraged me to eat right and live a healthy life. Whenever I get time, I work-out and do cardio exercises. I am not interested in being a size zero.

What difference do you find between the Mumbai and the South film industries?

The South industry has a lot more sense of punctuality. They start early and wrap up by a particular time. I am used to that and make it a point to be on time for a shoot or an event. People tell me I shouldn't be on time and that it's an 'in' thing to be fashionably late.

Asin goes Nepalese

The smash hit film Ghajini, which was originally made in Tamil and then in Hindi, is all set to be remade in Nepalese. Geetha Arts, the same production house that produced the Hindi version, will be remaking the film in Nepalese under the title Gajendra.

Noted Napalese film maker Narayan Puri will don the director’s cloak for this venture. It may be noted that Puri has several Nepalese films to his credit including the latest Alpabiram, which is based on an army man and a Maoist. Though the star cast not yet been finalized, Puri revealed that Asin, who played the role Kalpana in both the Tamil as well as the Hindi version, will play the role in Gajendra too.
